Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Manchester, before Employment Judge Leach sitting alone, considered Mr D. Thompson's claim against Lidl GB on 8 August 2025. The claimant did not attend; the respondent was represented by Mrs C. Jenkins, solicitor. The written judgment records that the claim was not presented within the applicable time limit under section 111 Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal further found that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented in time. On that basis, the claim was dismissed. The judgment does not record any substantive findings on the underlying dismissal complaint, any separate liability issues, or any monetary remedy.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
